Beyond the Garden Gate

I call life's heavy dates those dates that sadly and tragically get sealed into our minds and souls, you know what I am talking about,   those dates where the world feels heavy, those dates where it's hard to find the strength to get out of bed, those dates where to function requires extra strength and effort, those dates where it is hard to see the sun. Even if it's been years from the actual date of the loss,  for the person grieving it can hurt the same way as if it had happened yesterday. And what can make the pain worse if the feeling of being alone,  like others have moved on and left you behind  or simply forgotten that this was the day where your world was turned upside down and it will never be the same. Let's make an effort and be aware of other people's heavy dates, show your love with a call, a visit, flowers, baking something or just a text,  in the end it doesn't matter how you show your love as long as you are the

Hi everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I used to put so much pressure on myself every January with all the goals and resolutions because in my head it set the tone for how the rest of the year would be... but what I have relized is that its just a date like any other, you don't need a specific day to change your life, your habits, set dreams and goals... You can turn the page any time, no matter what month or day it is... Just keep trying to be better than you were yesterday, keep focusing on everything you have to be grateful for, keep letting go of guilt and what if's, keep seing your mistakes as lessons, keep putting one foot in front of the other and if you fall keep getting up, and if you fall behind on your goals or miss a day (or more than a few) its ok just start again tomorrow and don't forget to celebrate yourself no matter how small your progress or actions may seem because you are trying and just that is worth celebrating 😉 With love, Luz
